Description

Twice As Much: "That's All". Very rare UK mono LP from 1968, released on the purple Immediate label (IMCP 013). First pressing vinyl LP. Hideously rare flowerpower/soft psych pop album, with Vashti Bunyan singing on one song and Small Faces involvement. Includes all of their four 1960’s single releases, including “Sittin’ On A Fence” (written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards) and “True Stories”.

Front upper right corner of cover has a sticker pull that is visible (but not disturbing) and a couple of light corner creases and some minor (ring) wear, it still gets a VG+(+) grade.

Disc is EX to M- (!) and has been played once or twice at most. From my own personal record collection, I’ve cherished this album for 40 years!

Only a few copies have been auctioned at Ebay over the years. You won’t get another chance so easily to buy this record in this condition again!

Dave Skinner and Andrew Rose, who performed as Twice as Much, were harmony singers who also wrote much of their own material. They were signed to Immediate Records, which was run by Rolling Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham. The pair recorded four singles ("Sittin' on a Fence"/"Baby I Want You", "Step out of Line"/"Simplified", "True Story"/"You're So Good For Me", "Crystal Ball"/"Why Can't They All Go And Leave Me Alone") and two albums (Own Up and That's All) between 1966 and 1968 for Immediate. Most of these recordings were pop in the Peter & Gordon/Chad & Jeremy mold, with flower power and soft psych arrangements and great harmonies, that sometimes employed a touch of the baroque. Their only UK Top 40 success was a cover of the Mick Jagger and Keith Richards composition "Sittin' on a Fence". The Stones released it a year later. In Europe, “True Stories” also hit the charts. In the late 1970’s Skinner toured as the keyboard player with Roxy Music.
